The first Positron emission tomography–computed tomography was opened in Almaty

Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET / CT) is one of the key and newest methods of oncological diagnostics. The study of PET / CT allows you to identify oncological diseases in the early stages that are difficult to detect using CT, MRI and ultrasound, to determine the degree of complexity of the disease, its prevalence in the body and prescribe the correct treatment. The project was implemented by the Turkish company Orhun Medical LLP together with the Kazakh Research Institute of Oncology and Radiology with the direct financial participation of the leasing company KIC Leasing (“Kazakhstan Ijara Company” JSC). At the moment in Kazakhstan there are only two same equipment in Astana, one of which is already became obsolete.

Mr. Gonenc Dirik, Director of Orhun Medical LLP, and Mr. Yusuf Karsi, Director General of KIC leasing, told us about the details of the implementation of this project and the difficulties encountered.
